Markup or margin? Calculate both

A 50% markup is not a 50% margin. Enter cost and see selling price, markup, and margin, so you price for real profit. Nothing is saved.

Result

Enter cost and one more value, and the result appears here.

In short

Markup vs margin

Markup is on cost

You buy for $100 and sell for $150: markup is 50%, because the $50 profit is measured against cost.

Margin is on price

Same example: margin is 33.3%, because the $50 profit is measured against the $150 selling price.

How to set price

If you want a 30% margin, do not add 30% to cost: you would end up near 23% margin. Choose "Target margin" and the calculator gives the right price.
